Abstract
The disposal of agricultural waste is a challenge in our environment; it keeps increasing with the increase in population and production. The automotive industry has used agricultural waste, such as macadamia shells, to fabricate automobile door panels. The use of agricultural waste in the automotive industry lessens pollution and promotes sustainability in the environment. This paper reviews how effectively agricultural waste composites can be used in the automotive industry, eliminating waste in the landfill. Agricultural waste composites have a lot of potential in the automotive industry since they are recyclable and biodegradable, which makes disposing of them extremely convenient and eco-friendly. Furthermore, using agricultural waste bio-composites lowers the cost of production of automotive parts. There is still a need for further research into various agricultural waste, which has not been explored in the automotive industry and other applications.
